Erdogan's Turkey Not a Reliable NATO Ally

Shariah supremacism again commands the attention on the European continent.

Thankfully, it’s not because Turkey’s government is further mutating Western civilization by migrating there millions of additional Muslims.

Instead, Turkish president Recep Erdogan is trying to enlist millions of his countrymen already resident in Europe to vote in an upcoming referendum effectively to ratify totalitarian Shariah’s triumph over democracy. For this purpose, he’s been dispatching advocates to countries like the Netherlands.

The Dutch government has infuriated Erdogan by blocking their entry, thereby uncharacteristically defying an Islamist’s demands.

It’s clearly afraid the Turkish emissaries would intensify domestic hostility towards unchecked immigration — and drive voters this week to support the anti-open borders party of parliamentarian Geert Wilders.

Erdogan says he’ll retaliate — which simply underscores that Islamist Turkey is a threat, not a reliable NATO ally.
